--------------------------------------
The Society for the History of Astronomy was founded in 2002.
Its main aims are to run a Survey of Astronomical History - especially local and 'forgotten' history - to raise the profile of the history of this great science, and to provide activities for, and publish the work of, members, who may be amateur or professional historians or simply enthusiasts, at all levels. Institutional members may also receive our publications.
Members are spread across the UK, as are our activities, and we also have a small number of international members. You will find more details within this website, and contacts if you want to find out more - why not join us? Welcome to our 'home on the internet'!
